Philadelphia vs. Colorado: NHL Match Prediction
Philadelphia will try to extend their winning streak in the game against Colorado on November 19. John Tortorella team has gained good form and has not been without points in five games in a row. Colorado has not yet lived up to the hopes that fans had for the team. Gabriel Landeskog team is still not among the eight best teams in the West, and this can hardly suit the visitors.

Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
Philadelphia is only tenth in the East and is just one point away from the playoff zone. John Tortorella men have only 18 points in 18 starts and eight wins this season. The Flyers are in great shape now. In November, the Flyers lost away in Raleigh (4:6), won in Tampa (2:1, B), but could not cope with Florida (3:4, OT). The hosts came back twice in the match against the Panthers, but ultimately could not achieve success. Before returning home, the club from Pennsylvania beat Ottawa in Canada with some difficulty (5:4, OT). At the start of the new home series, Phil confidently beat Buffalo at home (5:2). At the end of the first two periods, they led with a score of 4:0 and calmly brought the matter to the desired result. The Pennsylvania club still has big problems in the goaltending line. Samuel Ersson was put on the injured list, and Alexei Kolosov has already managed to recover. Recently, the hosts' main goaltender has been Ivan Fedotov, who only recently won his first NHL victory after a long time. The Russian stopped 87.12% of shots on his goal and played in the starting lineup. Travis Konecny remains the leader of the hosts' attack. This season, the Canadian forward has scored 22 points (11+11) in the goal+pass system. After a break, Matvey Michkov began to earn scoring points again. The young talent from Russia has assisted in scoring and scored himself in the last three games and now has 15 goal actions (6+9). The rest of the Philadelphia players are not even in the top 100 in the league.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis, Carter Hart, Ryan Johansen, Ryan Pehling, Jamie Drasdale and Cameron Yorke are all unavailable for Sunday action, with Emile Andre still in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Philadelphia averages 27 shots per game
The hosts do not attack the opponents' goal very often, but recently this indicator has increased slightly.
- The Flyers earn ten minutes of penalty time per game.
John Tortorella men are sent off five times a game
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado is in a modest tenth place in the West, with only 18 points after 18 games. The team from Denver played more often at home at the start of November and occasionally demonstrated a fairly strong game. Jared Bednar charges won against Seattle (6:3), Carolina (6:4), Nashville (3:2, OT) and Los Angeles (4:2). It seemed that the Avalanche could not be stopped, but then Alexander Ovechkin arrived to visit. In the last game before the trip, the Avalanche lost to Washington (2:5), once again failing in defense. The then hosts were leading during the meeting, but were losing by two goals already at the start of the second 20 minutes. Nikolai Kovalenko goal could have been the beginning of a comeback, but Denver was not able to do more. The visitors have added reliability and have allowed only 14 goals in the last five games. Justus Annunen has blocked 88.07% of shots in his possession, but has not made a single shutout yet. Alexander Georgiev was injured and it is not yet clear who will protect the goal of Colorado. Young Trent Miner has appeared on the bench, who first took to the ice only in the match against the Capitals. Nathan MacKinnon leads the team and the entire league in scoring. The Canadian has 33 points (7+26) and leads the assist race by a large margin. He is followed by Mikka Rantanen and Cale Makar. Both have 25 scoring actions, but it is worth remembering that Makar plays defense. The rest of the teammates are still far behind and it will be very difficult for them to outshine the leaders.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alexander Georgiev, Gabriel Landeskog and Ross Colton will not be able to come to Pennsylvania to help their partners.
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado averages 30 shots per game
The Avalanche don't usually put much pressure on their opponents' goal.
- Guests earn seven minutes per match on average
The Avalanche try to play as disciplined as possible, but it doesn't always work out.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In the last three games involving Philadelphia, the first period was productive
1.62Bet 2nd period: Philadelphia will score
Fila has scored in the second period for four games in a row.
1.50Tip and bets
Philadelphia has gained good form and has been scoring points for five games in a row. John Tortorella team has started scoring, and Ivan Fedotov is gradually coming to his senses and looking better and better with each game. Colorado is letting in huge numbers. Yes, the visitors have very strong attacking players, but the Avalanche have big problems in defense. Now Alexander Georgiev is injured, and there is not even a more or less normal backup to take his place. We do not think that the Avalanche should be favorites in this matchup.
Our prediction is Philadelphia will not lose at 1.90
Individual Total Forecast
Philadelphia has improved its scoring, but needs to improve its home performance. It is in Pennsylvania that John Tortorella team usually has problems scoring. In the game against Buffalo, the hosts finally scored a lot in front of their home crowd. Over the course of four games, the Flyers have scored at least three times. We believe that they will succeed this time too.
We take Philadelphia individual total over 2.5 goals for 1.73
Total Forecast
Both teams do not like to sit back in defense and regularly have quite spectacular matches. In the five previous meetings between the teams, at least six goals were scored. Now there is no reason why the confrontation should be boring. We expect active and open hockey from the clubs. Let play a bet on the total over pucks.
Game Prediction - Total Over Six Goals for 1.70
